我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Life is adventures and meet up with new peoples, shared culture all nationality and make new day with memorable to everyone .

Couchsurfing became a great way for me to meet people, make friends, and stay connected to locals throughout my trip and beyond. This has always been one of my favorite things about Couchsurfing!

Why I love Traveling fosters a medium to build human connections with one another by learning about culture, food, new sites, music, and the way people live their day to day lives in different parts of the world. It's the best on-site learning a person can get.

Teach, Learn and Share experienced travel in the world
“Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” ~ Gustave Flaubert. Traveling quotes often mention the fact of how travel makes you humble and how life experiences are more important than accumulating thing

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines! Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Travel allows you to discover something completely new and unique, which is why it can bring so much joy. According to Achor, the human brain craves novelty. "The new experiences we have when we travel help us gain perspective and remind us that the world is bigger than our everyday problems.

Learn
Since learning when on travel is more enjoyable than getting the knowledge from a book, it increases our happiness level by making the brain more active. The new experience when on travel also rewires your brain, making us more creative and willing to accept new ideas
